SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters ratentrro. 699,271, dated Angus@ ic, 189s.

Application filed January 13, 1,897. Renewed January"31,\1898`. SerialNo. 668,6"1-3.A (No model.)

To all whom it may con/:erro:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN H. GoEBEL, a

citizen of the United States, residingin the' of -a bottle with meanswhereby the same can` not be refilled, said means embodying valves whichremain closed under ordinary circumstances, so as to prevent theintroduction of fluid into the bottle, but which open when the contentsare to be removed.

Figures l, 3, and 4 represent vertical sections of portions of a bottlewith my invention applied thereto, the same being in differentpositions. Fig. 2 represents a top View thereof. A

Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts in the severalfigures. f

Referring to the drawings, A designates portions of the body of' abottle, and B the neck thereof. Within the neck are the'separateddiaphragms C and D, which are firmly secured to or formed with thesleeve E, the` latter being closely encircled by said neck and having atone end a flange E', which occupies a recess B in the neck, thuspreventing movement or displacement of the sleeve and consequently ofthe diaphragms C D,

it being noted that the upper diaphragm C is located below the level ofsaid flange, thereby reducing the height thereof and enabling the bottleto be more readily emptied when inverted, owing to the short ports insaid reduced diaphragm. The opposite inner faces of said diaphragms arerecessed, forming the seats H and J ofthe ball F and valve G, it beingnoticed that the ball F, as a preferred construction, is larger than thevalve G, and the seats are correspondingly proportioned, and the spacebetween the diaphragms forms the valve-chamber.

In the diaphragm C are the ports K, which extend in the present instancelongitudinally of the neck of the bottle, and in the diaphragm D is theport K', it being noticed that the ports K form communication betweenthe valve-chamber and the exterior of the bottle,

`andfthe port K forms communication between said chamber and th'e'interior of the bottle. 1 f 1 3 On the side or breast of the bottle isthe nozzle L, which is primarily adapted for the fill- 'ingy of thebottle, said nozzle being afterward closed by the cap M, which forms anintegral portion of the same. Y

When it is'desired to remove the contents of the bottle,`the same isoverturned,as shown in Fig. 4. In this case the valve G uncovers ,inFig. 3, the b'all F will drop from its seat and rest on the side of itsseat, it being heavier than the Yvalve G, whereby the latter will beheld against its seat, closing the port K', preventing fiuid frompassingtherethrough. o

When the bottle is `in upright position, the weight of theball `F issuperimposed on the valve G, preventing the latter from being raised bya wire introduced through the ports K, andthe shaking ofthe bottle willkeep said valve and ball in contact, owing to the tendn ency of theupper ball to roll on the lower one.A

The sleeve and diaphragm will be preferably formed of opaque or darkmaterial, so as to conceal the position and movements of the valves fromwithout, it being noticed that said sleeve and diaphragms, with thevalves, are placed in position in the neck of the bottle prior tothefilling of the latter through the open nozzle L, s0 that said sleeve isa fixture and cannot be Withdrawn through the mouth of the bottle ordriven into the body thereof, owing to the horizontal groove or recess Band shoulder'B2, on which the lupper and lower ends of the sleeve E areseated .and which lock the sleeve in the neck.

As the valve G is lighter than the ball F, it may float, and so close onits seat when the bottle is overturned, as shown in dotted lines IOO inFig. 4, should attempts be made to fill the bottle from below; but inany case it will be moved upwardly by the pressure of the introducedHuid and pressed against said Seat.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is- I l. A non-refillable-bottle, having aneck lprovided with a recess in its upper portion,

with a shoulder in its lower portion and a recess in its upper portion,in combination with a sleeve in said neck, diaphragms secured to saidsleeve forming a valve-chamber, Said diaphragms having ports therein, aflange on the upper portion of the sleeve, a valve controlling the portin the lower diaphragm, a weight normally bearing on said valve, thelower end of said sleeve being seated in said shoulder and a nozzleprojecting from the side of said bottle, said nozzle being primarilyadapted for the filling thereof and also adapted to be closed by a capforming an integral portion of jthe same.

CHRISTIAN H. GOEBEL.
